| Audiodharma Cable Cooker anyone share experiences? Alan, Thanks for your direct response and the info that you've provided. I've seen one of your CC's up close for a brief period of time but have never had the chance to use / open / measure one of these devices. If you'd like to send me one, i'd b... | |
| Qualitative test of Auric Illuminator The disc that i originally did my testing with went back to hop, skip and jumping. As such, i don't know if Auric "wears off" or "dissipates". I should probably re-treat it and then spin the effected song on a daily basis to see if / when i notice... | |
| bi-wired mains / line-level sub Sounds like you're on your way to a very nice sounding system. Good luck and keep the volume down, will ya : ) Sean> | |
| Anybody own Shanling CD player? Thanks for the info. I'm sure i could find this info out on somebody's website, but does this unit upsample ? I think that it does, but i can't remember. Sean> | |
| Jitter Question on Dual Deck CDR I can see your point, but all you've really done is made me hungry : ) Thanks for taking the time to respond and answering my questions. Sean> | |
| HELP: is Monarchy Audio DAC a good idea? I think that what one gains by using an active preamp is dynamic headroom and the potential for "better" loading. Much of this can be negated and bypassed if the output of the DAC or CD player is rated for the same appr voltage that a preamp would... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Here's something else to think about. It was presented to me in a way that made it very easy to understand by Bob Carver. I read this in the "white papers" for the Sunfire amps and it makes good sense.A transistor is a WATTAGE device, not just a v... | |
| Jitter Question on Dual Deck CDR G, do you think that there would be any improvement by upgrading the passive parts i.e. caps, resistors, beefing up / regulating / filtering the power supplies in the D to D signal section ? Sean> | |
| Anybody own Shanling CD player? Ljgj, too bad it's not that simple. I would become a lumberjack if it was : ) I also agree about the sonics of these. If they aren't that hot, we'll start seeing them on this and similar websites soon enough. I'm typically pretty conservative on w... | |
| CD transport vintage and mods - Danner, if you don't mind me asking, what did all of the upgrades and modifications set you back ? If you don't want to discuss this publicly, please drom me an email. If you don't want to discruss this privately, drop me an email and tell me to m... | |
| Tubelike solid state: Ayre Vs Aleph Before throwing the 5's out the window, how about calling up Pass Labs and asking them if there is anything that they can do to increase bass attack ? While i will guarantee that there are mods that can be done, i don't know how willing they would... | |
| bi-wired mains / line-level sub As a general rule, I would have run the system the same way that you currently have it i.e. solid on top and stranded on bottom. Going to heavy gauge solid wires on the bottom in a low capacitance design ( twisted pair, star quad, etc ) would offe... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Bill, Mac uses output transformers on their SS amps. As such, the amp sees a relatively consistent load regardless of the speaker it is connected to. That is, so long as the "most correct" tap is selected for that individual speaker. There are pro... | |
| Jitter Question on Dual Deck CDR Good question. I'm hoping that someone that is "digital literate" will help us both out. I was wondering something similar as i was thinking about having my dual deck burner "modified". Sean> | |
| Anybody own Shanling CD player? I have wondered the same thing. It offers a LOT of circuitry for the money i.e. your selection of either tube or SS output sections along with HDCD decoding. That thing looks so "cool" that you could literally use the chassis and modify the hell o... |
